Cleaning - Jydepejsen Cosmo Mode D'emploi

7. Cleaning

In general
Generally, Jydepejsen wood-burning stoves are maintained in the same way as you would other furniture, i.e. using a dust
cloth and a solvent-free mild soap solution. Following cleaning, wipe the stove with a dry cloth. The painted surfaces of the
stove may be carefully re-painted with spray paint, type Senotherm 12-1644, charcoal grey or grey depending of the color
of the stove. This spray paint may be purchased from your wood-burning stove dealer.
Glass
ONLY Clean glass with cleaner designed and suitable for stove glass. Other types of cleaner can damage the coating of
the glass. For more information, inquire your distributor.
Ceramics
It is simple to maintain ceramics from Jydepejsen. Usually, it suffices to wipe the tiles with a damp cloth. Use a mild soap
solution in case of heavier soiling. Ceramic tiles are intolerant of strong acids and lye like most other natural products.
Consequently, you should avoid using strong detergents. With correct and careful maintenance, your ceramic tiles will
radiate heat and character for many years.
Soapstone
It is very simple to clean soapstone. Usually, it suffices to wipe soapstone with a damp cloth wrung in lukewarm water.
Avoid all types of detergent. Minor scratches may be repaired using very fine sandpaper with a grit size of 240. Contact
your dealer if a soapstone tile needs repairing.
Brown discoloration occurs when soapstone is heated to over 500°C. In such cases, the soapstone has been superheated
which is not covered by the warranty. If you maintain the soapstone facing on your stove correctly, it will keep its beautiful
character for many years.
Inside
You should remove the ash from the stove regularly. However, we recommend leaving a layer on the bottom as this
contributes to insulating the fire chamber. Your stove should be thoroughly checked and cleaned at least once in the firing
season.
Cleaning instructions
You should remove the baffle plate(s) prior to sweeping the stove. This allows loose soot from the chimney to fall into the
fire chamber. Use this manual to determine if your stove has one or two baffle plates and how to remove it/them. You
should close the air supply to prevent soot and ash from entering the room. Following sweeping, remove ash and soot from
the vermiculite support in the fire chamber. Then re-fit the baffle plate(s).
